I was delighted to get a message from my good friend Mr Mugove Chifaka just recently. It was great to hear how he is getting on these days.

Judging be the picture above, he seems to be doing very well at Macheke High School where he is now a Acting Head. He moved there from Pakati Secondary school in 2024 initially as substantive Deputy Head, then got his promotion in 2025.

According to Mr Chifaka, at Macheke High, an urban school, there are around 1200 students and 75 teachers, including 16 student teachers from Mutare teachers’ college – a real contrast to Pakati (around 330 students & 12 staff) in a rural setting

For those who are unaware, Mr Chifaka was the Acting Head of Pakati Secondary when I first revisited the school back in 2018 – see more about him here https://friendsofpakati.com/2019/02/01/staff-profile-9-meet-the-head-part-1/ and https://friendsofpakati.com/staff-profile-meet-the-head-part-2-two-heads-are-better-than-one/

Mr Chifaka was instrumemtal in getting Friends of Pakati off the ground back in 2019 – see here https://friendsofpakati.com/my-project-for-2019
